What kind of cockamamie beliefs would I have if I didn't put the fruit that planet earth pizza provides on it?

Planets are pizzas.
Fruit does not belong on pizza.
There's no such thing as pepperoni.
Pizza is properly eaten with a fork and knife. We aren't barbarians after all.
You're welcome.

The moon's orientation is never flipped - only rotated.

Just because you see a flight listed on a website does not mean that it is definitely a real flight.

(BTW - both of those links came up empty/unknown.)

You do not know that it is a real flight until you buy the tickets - AND - make/take the flight - AND - determine that your experience on the flight was actually a true reflection of the flight plan you intended from the beginning.

I have proven it to myself beyond-any-shadow-of-doubt-whatsoever.

There is a 'faith' part and a 'science' part. They are separate and not the same.

On the 'science' side - here is one of the best Flat Earth 'proof' videos that I have ever seen:

The diagram showed you, if you had bothered to look. North is central in Flat Earth. (Ignore the text - it's nonsense - probably written by a Heliocentrist).
I know what the diagram shows. It is simply the globe earth flattened out. It is not a map. Maps are the result of exploration and surveys, observations from the air and have taken centuries to produce. FE has produced exactly nothing. It explains nothing. It is illogical and defies real world observations.

There is reality and what you believe. You are deluded.

Have you ever considered that a globe is a flat earth wrapped around a sphere?

One thing can definitely be said for flat earth maps: they don't have the problems that all the globe projections have.
For example:
The Mercator Projection makes the land masses farthest from the equator so much larger than reality.
Gall–Peters projection tries to correct this, but fails to do so as well as distort the shape of the land masses.
The Azimuthal Equidistant Projection (essentially a flat earth map) simply presents the earth as is.

FE absurdity never ceases to amaze me. Yes, trying to make a globe fit onto a two dimensional map has issues. The distortion of land masses is not real as the scale changes with the projection. Try flying internationally with your fake map. Make sure you have your life raft with you. You will need it when you run out of fuel.

Bull. Curvature is 8" per mile. 3,200 = 266 feet. One mile is 5,280 feet. Where did you go to school?
You might have noticed that he doesn’t think through his memes before posting. He’s been a troll in the Bible forum, and is doing the same thing here.
